Roma reveal Bojan details

Roma have revealed the financial details of the BojanKrkic deal, including the fact Barcelona can buy him back for €17m in 2012.

Initial reports of the move surprised many and the statement released by the Giallorossi this afternoon brought further clarity.

“A.S. Roma S.p.A. announce a contract with Barcelona to buy player BojanKrkic Perez for €12m, to be paid before July 1 2013.

“As part of this agreement, Barcelona have an exclusive option to buy back the player at a cost of €17m in 2011-12 or €13m in 2012-13, to be paid in two instalments on January 31 and May 31 2014.

“This option to buy back is mandatory for Barcelona for the second season, but includes a counter-option for Roma to maintain rights to his sporting performances.

“Roma's option is to be taken up by June 20 2013 for another €28m to be paid in three instalments on July 1 2013, January 31 2014 and July 31 2014.

“As for the player, he has agreed a four-year contract which expires on June 30 2015 worth €3.2m for 2011-12 and 2012-13, then €6.3m from 2013-14 to 2014-15, in addition to individual performance-related bonuses.”

It seems this statement actually means that Bojan will receive a total of €3.2m wages over the two campaigns, so €1.6m per season.

If Roma make the move permanent, he'll double his wages to €3.15m per season.
